[Old Hickory] Fish Fillet Knife, Brown Leather Sheathed

The OKC Old Hickory Fillet Knife, crafted by the Ontario Knife Company, is a classic American-made tool from their iconic Old Hickory line, in production since 1924.

Designed for fish filleting and light kitchen or outdoor tasks, it features a flexible 6.3-inch blade made of 1095 high-carbon steel for superior edge retention. The knife’s full-tang construction, paired with brown hardwood scales and brass rivets, offers durability and a traditional aesthetic, while its lightweight design (3.6 oz) ensures precision.

It comes with a leather sheath with a plastic liner and is backed by OKC’s lifetime warranty, all for an affordable £39.95. Praised for its sharpness and value, the Old Hickory Fillet Knife excels at clean cuts through fish like flounder, earning a 4.5/5 average rating on platforms.

Users appreciate its ease of sharpening and versatility for anglers and home cooks, though carbon steel models require regular oiling to prevent rust, and some note rough factory edges or looser tangs on smaller variants. Handcrafted in Franklinville, New York, this knife blends heritage with functionality, making it a reliable choice for those seeking a budget-friendly, heirloom-quality tool for fishing or camp cooking.
